The first release of "SCHAC Individual Attributes Specification" was issued in May 2006. The release defines a set of attributes to describe individuals in the academic and research institutions and contains an appropriate LDAP profile in appendix.
With the latest release, issued in March 2009, SCHAC has reached a level of maturity that makes its usage attractive.
The current SCHAC release, published in April 2015, as well as previous releases and proposed updates, can be downloaded from the download page.
